In a good news, organ donation, hit by the pandemic, is gradually picking up in Mumbai. The city has matched up to last year's donation figure, with an 80-year-old brain-dead man's organs being donated to recipients.

According to the Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre, a government organisation that promotes organ donation, 3,325 patients in Mumbai are waiting for a cadaver (dead body) kidney, while 328 need a cadaver liver. The wait list for small bowel is seven, pancreas 12, heart 28 and lungs nine. Six patients are waiting for both heart and lung transplant, and five need a hand.
